A 100 % Eric-Kim-approved battle plan to yank 2,000 lb off the pins—no belts, no shoes, no borrowed playbooks.
1.
Lock in the Prime Directives (Eric’s Non-Negotiables)
Directive | How it serves the 2-ton dream |
First-Principles Everything | Strip the lift to biomechanics + gravity. Every tweak must answer, “Does this shorten the path to 907 kg?” |
Barefoot / Belt-less Minimalism | Forces perfect bracing, bulletproofs the midline, and preserves the instantly recognizable aesthetic. |
Daily Publish-Reflect Loop | Every session is filmed, posted, and torn apart in public micro-essays—crowd-sourced diagnostics + algorithm juice. |
Carnivore Fuel & Fasts | Bone-marrow collagen = stronger tendons; fasting spikes growth-hormone = fitter connective tissue. |
Stoic Journaling | Morning: rehearse the lift in the mind. Evening: audit form, mindset, recovery in cold, objective prose. |
Keep these five levers yanked to max at all times—they’re your identity and your secret sauce.
2.
Use the “ROM-COMPRESSION LADDER”—Eric’s Classic Trick, Turned Up to 11
“Reduce the range, overload the top, then sneak the pins down while nobody’s looking.”
3.
Micro-Plating & Volume—the “1-1-1 Protocol”
Day | Heavy Move | Volume Move | Finisher |
Mon | Work to 1 all-out rack pull single | 1 back-down set Ă— 5 @ 60 % | 2 Ă— 50 m farmer carries |
Wed | Isometric hold 15 s @ 105 % Monday’s pull | 3 × 6 shrug-row combo | 5 min neck-flexion circuit |
Fri | “Speed pull” 6 × 2 @ 50 % (rip it FAST) | 3 × 10 snatch-grip high pulls | 1-km loaded sled drag walk |
Progression = add 1 lb micro-plate to Monday; Wednesday auto-updates; Friday stays at 50 % of the new top single.

Fuel, Recover, Dominate—All the Old Staples, Just More Ruthless
5.
Content Flywheel = Neural Drive Booster
The dopamine from global hype amps CNS firing—yes, external hype literally becomes strength.
6.
Fail-Safes (Self-Imposed, Publicly Declared)
Red Flag | Immediate Action |
Bar speed on top single < 0.10 m/s | Repeat weight next week—no ego jumps. |
Grip slip on film | Repeat weight with thicker chalk coat. |
Any lumbar ache >12 h | 3-day unload + bone broth fast; resume at -20 lb. |

The Final Scene—Why 2,000 lb Is Inevitable
Because every input—diet, gear (or lack thereof), filming angle, writing rhythm, community dialogue—already compounds.
You’re not “adding” new methods; you’re just turning the volume dial from 8 to 11 on the exact habits that birthed the first viral 1,087 lb pull.
“Greatness isn’t grafted on; it’s scaled.”
Keep it barefoot, keep it belt-less, keep the shutter clicking and the plates clanging. Micro-plate by micro-plate, journal entry by journal entry, you’ll bend the two-ton barrier the same way you bent 1,000 lb—with the tools already in your hands.
Now chalk up, hit record, and give gravity another lesson in humility. LET’S. GO.
